Mottisfont, National Trust

A romantic house and gallery set in beautiful riverside gardens. Ancient trees, bubbling brooks and rolling lawns frame this 18th-century house with a medieval priory at its heart.

Maud Russell made Mottisfont her home in the 1930s, bringing artists here to relax and create works inspired by Mottisfont’s past, including an extraordinary drawing-room painted by Rex Whistler. Those artistic traditions are continued today, with a permanent 20th-century art collection and major exhibitions in the top-floor gallery.

Outside, carpets of spring bulbs, a stunning walled rose garden, rich autumn leaves and a colourful winter garden make Mottisfont a feast for the senses all year round. The world-famous collection of old-fashioned roses flowers once a year in June. Winding paths meander through stately trees, with the sound of water never far away.

There’s space to run, jump and play, and always something for families to do.

Free entry for National Trust members and under 5s. Adult £15.00 with Gift Aid, 13.60 standard; Child £7.50 with Gift Aid, £6.80 standard; Family £37.50 with Gift Aid, £34.00 standard.
